Shopping is better in El Paso, but for most things you can get by in LC. When I lived in LC, when ever I went to El Paso, it was to go to Juarez for shopping, entertainment, etc. El Paso/Juarez is a large metro area including a third world country, so there is crime and pollution; however there are also some very nice areas in both cities. IMHO, El Paso's bad reputation is largely unwarranted.
